That means only about 3/4 of your tire will be actually touching pavement at any one time. Thats going to be scary in oregon rain.

^ it would be even harder to fit. since its only 1mm less on the outer position and you would have less rim width to stretch.

build the car to exactly how you plan to enjoy it, that in the end is what will be most important. just have an adequate plan for the project it. even if its for show, just make sure you dont jeopardize your own safety in the process.

Looks like your pretty set on these and looking for more reasons to purchase them, just go for it f you like them, its your ride in the end. Only thing is I don't think your suspension is stiff enough for this setup, you'll either go through tires or mess up your quarter panels/fenders. Its the reason Mike switched suspension.

i bet that setup on your car will be awesome with great potential on taking a corner maybe with ridiculous high G's cornering and the tires will last forever specially the inner side.

if you get those XXR i would look at the +45 instead of the +30. i havent looked carefully but i believe the way that wheel is setup, the difference is only in the backspacing, so you can still retain the same sized lip while being 15mm less aggressive, thats much more manageable. you might even be able to stick a 245 tire on there that way.
